Short description
An essential guide for anyone working in organometallic, coordination and synthetic chemistry, catalysis, and materials science, Ferrocenes: From Materials and Chemistry to Biology describes recent advances in the development and application of ferrocene compounds, including: synthesis and use of new chiral and non-chiral ferrocene ligands; ferrocence-based materials and molecular devices, including sensors, polymers, electrooptical materials, and liquid-crystalline materials; and ferrocenylated biomolecules, biomedical applications and ferrocene drugs.
